PAROLES
[Verse 1]
In my little town
Grew up playing baseball
Just hoping that we could get
Back on the field again
[Pre-Chorus]
Except that Frankie went to Maryland, Jimmy stayed in town
Mitch had cancer and survived, but Kyle’s not around
Had made it to the minors while Michael’s having kids
Maddy’s burning out and well, Kevin’s just a dick
[Chorus]
Summertime in the city
Summertime in the big old city
Summertime seemed pretty
The day is gone in summertime
[Verse 2]
In my little town
We grew up having big dreams
Just hoping that we could scream
Like when we were 17
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we were so naive
We thought that we were gonna be the ones
That we’d change the world
But now it seems the older we become
We still don’t know where we’re going
And we don’t know who we are
Like our degrees in legal laws
We were doomed right from the start
[Chorus]
Summertime in the city
Summertime in the big old city
Summertime seemed pretty
The day is gone in summertime
[Bridge]
Ooh!
Don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me behind
[Spoken]
I remember throwing around a baseball at MacArthur field with my dad
Flash forward to a couple of years
Me and my friend Erin were hanging outside the Wine Basket
Trying to get college kids to buy us liquor
It feels like the older I get, the further it becomes
And it feels like I’m always gonna be chasing
[Chorus]
Summertime in the city (Don’t leave me behind)
Summertime in the big old city
Summertime seemed pretty (Don’t leave me behind)
The day is gone in summertime
[Spoken]
[?]
I’m wishing you’d come back
Another time, another place, another life
[?] we’re gonna be okay
[Verse 3]
My little town
Grew up playing baseball
Just hoping that we could get
Back on the field again
